The city was visited by a record number of Hasidim.
The Hasidim celebrate the New year, or Rosh Hashana for two days. This year the holiday fell on October 2-3.
More than 40 thousand pilgrims arrived this year in Uman to visit the grave of Rabbi Nachman, one of the founders of Hasidism.
To Uman this kind of record, because a number of Hasidim came for the first time.
Most of the Hasidim believe that if you celebrate Rosh Hashanah at the grave of Nachman, the whole year will be happy.
